TO LIST YOUR DAYCARE WITH US CLICK HERE:

The First thing you need to do is contact your "State Daycare Licensing Agency". They will put you in touch with your local agency. Usually they will send you a packet of information with application, regulations and other steps needed in getting your license. Not all states require you to be licensed, some just require you to be registered depending on how many children you will be caring for. Regulations differ from state to state and regulations are also different for home daycare than for daycare centers.

For state by state daycare regulations go here: http://nrc.uchsc.edu/STATES/states.htm

If you need licensing information go to our state listings page and select a state you will find state contact information. Or go here: http://nccic.acf.hhs.gov/statedata/dirs/display.cfm?title=licensing
